Tubes in the Ears!

Today we took our little girl to get tubes in her ears.  After like 6 ear infections in the last year the Ear Nose and Throat doctor thought it was best to get the tubes to hopefully stop the ear infections.  We hope it works.  We hate having a sick little girl.  We got to the surgical center bright and early in the morning.  Got her all checked in.  Waited till it was our turn.  Then went back and got her all dressed for surgery.  She got a yellow hospital gown with Coyote and Roadrunner on it, little white socks, and a blue hat for her hair.  There was a little play area for her to play in till she went in to surgery.  So we hung out there and talked to the doctors and the nurse.  Then they took Cicily away for the surgery and we went back out to the waiting room.  The surgery went really fast it only took 7 minutes.  She was really upset when she woke up though.  The nurses said it was because she felt drunk and didn't really understand what she was feeling and it was really uncomfortable.  She's done really well today considering the only thing she doesn't like is getting her ear drops.

The blind recieve thier sight.

Ok so I'm not totally blind, but I may as well have been.  Cicily broke my glasses before we left Florida and then after my trip to California I ran out of contacts.  And for those of you who don't know my eye sight is horrible!!  Ask my family.  So this week I've had no glasses or contacts.  Which means no driving for sure.  And who knows what Cicily's been up to taking advantage of mommy.  Earilier today Cicily fell down and it took me awhile to find her and she was crying.  So today Conner drove me to the eye doctor (Nick's Uncle Paul) and I got contacts, and in a week I'll have some really cute glasses YAY!  I'm just so excited to see again.

18 months

Cicily went in for her 18 month appointment last week, and got all her shots.  She was 21 1/2 pounds and 31 inches tall.  I had someone at Disney this last week ask if she was almost a year, so ya she's still really small.  We found out at the visit that Cicily had another ear infection though which is really sad expecialy since she had one last month as well.  The doctor said if this one dosn't clear up or if she gets another fairly soon Cicily will have to go to an ear nose and throat doctor.  She probly end up having tubes in her ears.

Our first Thanksgiving alone!

This year Thanksgiving was just a little different for us. Since we're in Florida we were to far away from family to visit. So we had our own Thanksgiving. Just our little family. The day before Thanksgiving I started making dinner so I wouldn't have to do everything the day of. I made the pumpkin pie and the deviled eggs.

Then bright and early in the morning I stuffed the turkey and put it in the oven, made a banana cream pie, took a break while Nick made the sweet potatoes, made the green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, and gravy. And while we were doing all that Cicily was watching the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade and she was waving at all the floats and people on the TV it was really cute. Then right about the time the Turkey was finishing cooking the Carbon Monoxide alarm goes off. At first I was kinda confused because I was thinking it was the fire alarm, but we didn't have any smoke in the house. So I went out side to check if it was the building alarm, because we live in an apartment so it could have been someone else, But it wasn't the building alarm. So I went back inside and looked at the alarm and I realized it was the Carbon Monoxide detector so then I'm panicking wondering what we should do, because dinner had just finished and we had a large thanksgiving dinner just sitting there. It was very frustrating. So we opened all the windows in our apartment, the door too, and Cicily and I sat outside while Nick went to the front office to see if there was anyone there to talk to. Of course no one was there on Thanksgiving though. So Nick called his dad to see what he thought. We all felt fine and we figured it was from all the cooking since our stove and oven is gas and since the heat hasn't been on at all. So Nick reset the detector and it didn't go off again after an hour of airing out.

Luckily most of the food was still hot or warm at least to have our Thanksgiving dinner after that little episode. I think we did pretty good on dinner for cooking my first turkey, banana pie, pumpkin pie, and gravy. It all turned out great even with being sick.  Cicily loved Thanksgiving dinner too she had a little bit of everything and even pointed out a couple things she wanted more of.  

Sick Cicily

Poor Cicily.  She's been sick for the last couple of days so Nick and I took her to the doctor today.  We found out that she had strep throught and an ear infection.  Poor baby.  I just hope she gets  more sleep tonight then she did last night.

Going Down Stairs!

Well I guess every cloud has a silver lining or sum such. Cicily and everyone else in the house had the flu for several days and the cough just won't go away, but while we were all stuck indoors Cicily learned how to go down the stairs all by herself and I guess she was teething too. Cause now she's got another tooth, and we never even saw it start coming in and it's almost as tall as the ones from several months ago. Wow we're observant!

Flu

Cicily got sick yesterday. It was so sad. She just wanted to be held all day. I took her to the doctor to see what was wrong because she had a temperature of 103.8 So the doctor swabbed her throat, because it was red, but it came back negative. So we cathed her to get some pee to see if she had an infection or something, but it came back negative too. So then the doctor swabbed her nose to see if she had the Flu, and it came back positive that she had influenza A. Which means that she could have the swine flu and since she's under five she's considered a high risk patient so we had to take her to the emergency room to have her nose swabbed again. While we were waiting for more information from the doctor a guy came and gave us all drinks and gave Cicily a teddy bear. Here's Cicily with her hospital braslet and her new teddy bear.
